Returned this itemI am fat with small breasts. All my fats cells are anywhere EXCEPT my breasts, so I am hard to fit. I took new measurements following the size chart directions and ordered the size that should have fit me, 48C. WRONG! The cups are way too large for me, but the band was very comfortable. I did not order a replacement because the Playtex did not offer a 48 with a small enough cup size for me. Perhaps someday they will understand that being fat doesn't mean big breasts, or in my case, practically no breasts. I loved the look and feel of the bra, but in a 48C, I could put at least 2 pairs of socks in each cup without discomfort.

Not what I expected BUT..I was expecting this bra to have a thin foam cup for whatever reason. This one doesn't have any foam at all. I'm NOT an under wire lover. That being said, this bra is light and airy and the under wire stays close to the body and doesn't wander. It truly does stay put! It's also an excellent lift and separate bra. I've been pleasantly surprised that of any of the few under wires I have owned, this one is comfortable! I only have one issue with it. The stays on the side of the bra, under the arms, are a bit too tall. They do poke the armpit once in awhile. It offers plenty of support as well!

Pretty But Not for MeThis is a very pretty and lightweight supportive bra. Unfortunately because my breasts are uneven (almost a cup size larger on my left) I didn't feel it gave me enough support for the larger breast. Because of the imbalance, the underwire kept poking me under the left arm. I much prefer the original 18 Hour or the new front close bra with the flex back. Those two styles give me the "lift" a 48DDD needs! I did end up keeping one of these however, for those days I wear lower cut tops. The overall bra is comfortable and the straps don't slip. I wish the original 18 Hour had the non slip straps. That would be perfect.

Excellent fit all around!I have been wearing nothing but this bra since it came out years ago. The gel straps are the best feature but the fit & feel of the bra is absolutely perfect for me, (44C). No more curling of straps, no more red & sore shoulder marks. I love the underwire part too. It stays in place & holds up wash after wash. The comfort of this bra over others in my eyes is 150% better. I just hope & pray they don't ever discontinue it. I have NO bad or cons to say about it. If you want a super comfortable bra & one that won't dig into your shoulders do not hesitate to buy this. You think I worked for the company, but I don't. Just a very happy & satisfied customer with their product. This is rare to find these days.

Greatest bra I have EVER owned...I have NEVER been comfortable with an underwire. I hated them. Would tell anyone who would listen that they were crazy for owning one. But I dropped 72lbs and decided to give them a try again. What could it hurt? I needed a new bra anyway as all my others were now too big (band wise). I wear a DDD. When I first got this bra, I wore it over the weekend so I wouldn't feel tortured at work. I swear it felt like I wasn't even wearing a bra. It's amazingly comfortable and gives great lift and shape. Now I tell anyonw who will listen about this bra. Well done, Playtex & JMS. Well done.

Forget first impressionsWhen I put this bra on the first time, I felt like Madonna, with cone shaped boobs. I thought sure I'd have to return the two bras I bought. They were so comfortable, that I kept them and now I am really glad. After a couple wearings and laundering, they morphed into the best fitting bras I ever owned. The straps are wonderful. They stay where they belong at all times and the gel makes them amazingly comfortable. and the cups now have a natural shape that looks just fine under T-shirts and other knits. I am very pleased with these bras and plan to buy more.

Very supportiveThis is indeed a very comfortable, supportive bra. I am a 42 DD, and need support for the girls. I have worn this bra three times and never once caught myself adjusting it. There were no dig marks on my shoulders, and no spillover from the cups. No sagging at all. I was a bit worried that the lace would be scratchy, but it wasn't. Bra is very pretty. My one complaint is that the small band of fabric connecting the cups has no give at all, and by the end of the day I had a bit of a red mark which was a little sore. For that reason I gave this bra 4 stars instead of five. I think this problem could be easily remedied with a bit of elastic or padding in that area.

Fabulous!Wow! I've finally found a bra that fits and shapes me beautifully. I have, as they politely say, heavy breasts. The truth is that my breasts sag due to a large weight loss. It has been impossible to find a bra that fits correctly. My search is over. This bra does everything you want a bra to do: It lifts, shapes, separates, is comfortable, and affordable. After buying just one, I am getting one in every color and an extra one in bare (the color I wear the most). A definite keeper!
